It is the start of a new birding year and, thus, it is time again to

to do so, WSO will again be publishing in the Badger Birder your

PARTICIPATE. ANY BIRDER WHO MEETS THE THRESHOLD NUMBERS IS WELCOMED TO
SUBMIT.
The easiest way to do so? Go to

Or email your information to rcd2@xxxxxxxxxx and share your totals
for the following categories. And THANKS for sharing!

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION IS FEB. 1, 2021
Categories --
1. 2020 Wisconsin Year Total (threshold 200)
2. Wisconsin Life Total (threshold 200)
3. ABA Area Life Total (threshold 400) -The ABA Checklist
delineation of the "ABA Area" will be used. Thus the ABA Area
encompassed "the 49 continental states of the US plus Hawaii, Canada,
the French islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon (which will add numerous
birds to most totals), the adjacent waters to a distance of 200
nautical miles from land or half the distance to a neighboring
country, whichever is less.
Excluded by these boundaries are Bermuda, the Bahamas, and
Greenland."
Participation in submitting this total is limited to those who have a
claim to at least part time residence in Wisconsin.
4. 2020 BIGBY Total (sometimes called a Green Year) with a threshold
of 100. This number is the total of species seen by selecting a center
point (most likely your residence) and then noting all the birds found
when walking, biking, canoeing, etc. from this central location. Any
species found with the aid of a motorized form of transportation are
not countable.
5. County Life Totals (threshold 125). For any county in which one
has found 125 or more species, enter the name of the county followed
by the number of species found.
